From the moment we sat down, the experience was something special. They start you off with warm, grilled bread alongside a gorgeous pool of fresh olive oil, and here's the touch that sets the tone for the whole evening: the oregano garnishing that oil is cut tableside from a live plant. It's a small detail, but it tells you everything about how much this kitchen cares. We went all in on the menu and have zero regrets. The spread platter was outstanding, multiple dips, beautifully presented with soft bread, each one distinct and well-crafted. The warm marinated olives were rich and aromatic, the kind of thing you keep reaching back into. The calamari was perfectly fried, light, crispy, served with a creamy tzatziki dipping sauce. For mains, the whole lobster with fries was a showstopper, generous, fresh, and served with clarified butter and a tangy sauce. The halibut was elegant and delicate, plated with roasted vegetables and large capers in a way that felt genuinely refined. The cocktails and drink program held up beautifully throughout the meal too. This is the kind of restaurant that makes a night feel like an occasion. The food is thoughtful, the ingredients are clearly quality, and the atmosphere delivers. And Yuri, our waiter, was absolutely fantastic. If you're on the fence because of that rating -- ignore it. Go.

Persis Greek just looks like your typical greek fast food counter but it's so much better!! They carry the typical Canadian-Greek options like souvlaki platters and wraps, and they also have marinated lamb, chicken tender and meatballs as plate options. I'm not much of a fan of the typical salty tasting souvlaki you get at most greek fast food places, but that's where these guys differ. The quality is just a cut above most other places. I've had the chicken and beef and in both cases the meat has been deliciously marinated and tender, and not overly salty. My favourite part has to to be the Greek Salad - they use lots of peppers in their greek salad (which not being a fan of raw tomatoes was a big plus for me) and the feta is decent quality too! A souvlaki platter will run you under $10.

The experience was similar each time. The space is nice, but it was very quiet during all my lunch visits, presumably because of all the construction work on Broadway. I would assume that was why the did this promotion, to bring in cusotmers. During my visits, I tried the following: - Dip Tasters - Good. Simple, but all the dips were good - Moussaka - Good. Classic recipe. At $12,60, very good price, but not sure I would pay a full$21. - Lamb Youvetsi - Good. Good flavours. At $16.80, a good value. - Souvlaki Platter - Very good. Best value at $17.40, it was a full plate of food which I couldn't finish in one sitting. Had to take a portion home for feed myself for dinner. I will mention that during my first visit, sides weren't provided for the Lamb our Moussaka. But subsequent visits, they were, so there was some inconsistency here. But it's hard to say whether I was unlucky the first visit, or just lucky on the last two visits. Service was pretty good each time. No conerns. Considering the 40% discount offer, it was a very good deal. Good food, good service for really good prices. That's why I went three times!

The building is hidden by construction scaffolding but it's conveniently located close to Broadway-City Hall Station. It was a last-minute decision to come here, so I called about an hour before we planned on arriving to reserve a table. They were pretty busy (Saturday 7 pm) so I'm glad I called. The three of us each ordered our own dishes but shared a little bit of everything so I got to try the Beyond souvlaki platter (my dish), the grilled humboldt squid, and the lentil salad, all of which were amazing. I was really excited about the Beyond souvlaki because I love the souvlaki flavours but don't eat the usual souvlaki meats, so this was the first instance where I was able to try this sort of thing at a restaurant. The souvlaki skewer was bursting with flavour and all of the sides were delicious, the potatoes practically melted in my mouth. The lentil salad also exceeded my expectations - there was a substantial serving of lentils and lots of dill to give it a fresh herby flavour. The squid fro what I could tell (I don't eat squid very often at all) was also well-prepared, very tender and, like everything else, flavourful. Prices are not cheap but their portions are very generous. I appreciated the big vegetarian/vegan section of the menu! They even have vegan feta available as a feta substitute for the salads, so all of the vegetarian dishes except the spanakopita are or can be veganized. Our server was nice and the service was very timely. The atmosphere was calm. This was a great choice for us! I'd love to go back and really bring my appetite so I can try some dessert too!

Our waiter was incredibly attentive, and the service was quick. We kicked things off with some drinks. We should have arrived 30 minutes earlier to enjoy their happy hour. Their drinks are both strong and delicious. It's a fantastic opportunity to try something new, especially since you don't get to experience Greek spirits every day. The food was just as tasty. We started with the calamari and the house spreads - we had the hummus, tzatziki, and roasted eggplant dip. It was so good that we had to order more pita bread. For our mains, we shared three different dishes: short ribs, lamb meatballs, and lamb roasted shoulder. The flavors were rich and well-seasoned. That, combined with their drinks, was a perfect match. Don't come here after eating a snack beforehand; make sure you're hungry because you'll be finishing your plate and the person you're with. I would definitely return here without hesitation to try the rest of the menu.
